All challenges will be surmounted this year, says Bello

By Justina Asishana

Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has declared that challenges bedeviling the state will be surmounted and overcome in the year 2020.

The governor, who observed that the outgone year was tough in terms of security and other challenges, expressed his government’s optimism to build in a mechanism that would overcome these challenges.

These were contained in his New Year Message to the people in the state.

According to him, his policies and programmes will remain control and targeted to the people.

“To claim that we reached our potential last year, will be an unfounded presumption. However, this year 2020, we are zeroing in on human capital development by constructively investing more in education,” he said.

He said that the government would scale up performance in the repair of deplorable roads in the state, adding that the provision of basic critical infrastructure also remained very paramount to his administration.

“As I wish Nigerlites a blissful New Year, I want to reiterate that my administration is going to work hard in the coming year to bring developmental projects towards the rapid socio-economic well-being of the people,” he said.

He urged the people to be tolerant and committed, stressing on the need for them to pray for the sustenance of peace and unity in the state and country at large.

“We are calling on Nigerlites to remain resolute and firm in their commitment to maintaining law and order, respect for the rule of law and acknowledge the fundamental human rights of every citizen,” he said.
